Matthew⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And the Apostles and the brethren that were thorowout Iewry, harde say that the heathen had also receyued the word of God. ² And when Peter was come vp to Hierusalem, they of the circuncysyon reasoned with him ³ saiyng: Thou wentest into men vncircumcysed, and eatest with them. ⁴ Then Peter began and expounded the thing in order to them saiyng: ⁵ I was in the cytie of Ioppa praiynge, and in a traunce I sawe a vision, a certaine vessell descende, as it had bene a large linnen cloth, let doune from heauen by the fower corners, and it came to me. ⁶ Into the which when I had fastned myne eyes, I consydered and sawe fower foted beastes of the earth, and vermen, wormes, and foules of the aier. ⁷ And I hearde a voice saiyng vnto me, aryse Peter sley & eate. ⁸ And I saide: God forbid Lord, for nothing commen or vncleane, hath at anye tyme entred into my mouth. ⁹ But the voice aunswered me agayne from heauen, count not thou those thinges commen, whiche God hath clensed. ¹⁰ And this was done thre times: And all were taken vp againe into heauen. ¹¹ And beholde immediatly there were thre men come vnto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea vnto me, ¹² And the sprete sayde vnto me, that I should go with them, wythout doubting. More ouer these sixe brethren accompanied me: and we entered into the mans house. ¹³ And he shewed vs how he had sene an Angel in hys house, whiche stode and sayed to him. Sende men to Ioppa, and call for Simon named also Peter, ¹⁴ he shal tell the wordes, wherby both thou and all thyne housse shal be saued. ¹⁵ And as I began to preach, the holy ghost fell on them, as he dyd on vs at the beginninge. ¹⁶ Then came to his remembraunce the wordes of the Lorde, howe he sayed: Iohn Baptised with water, but ye shal be baptysed wyth the holy ghost. ¹⁷ For as much then as God gaue them lyke giftes, as he dyd vnto vs, when we beleued on the Lord Iesus Christe: what was I that I shoulde haue withstand God? ¹⁸ When they heard thys, they helde their peace & gloryfyed God, sayinge: then hath God also to the gentyls graunted repentaunce vnto lyfe.
